  The only 91/30 Mosins that are worth more are the genuine snipers and the ex-snipers. The rest of the arsenal refurbished Mosins are worth around $100. Most of them are real good shooters though, so if you are a shooter you will enjoy it a lot.[:)]

  As mentioned, right now the going rate for these "re-arsenaled" Mosin rifles is about $100, usually with accessory kit including bayonet, ammo pouch, and (most important) a new-issue "dog collar" type Mosin sling.
  
  I'm pretty sure the Triangle/arrow mark you mention is from the Tula arsenal, the largest of the Russian arms makers.
  
  The original marks and dates are pretty cool, but there are literally a gazillion of these floating around right now, and they don't add to the value of the piece.
  
  Mark from Tula-made SKS
  
  
  For what its worth, supposedly the near-endless supply of these old guns is finally starting to dry up, so we'll probably see prices edge up a little over the next few years.
